Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had to get me a check
This is checkers not chess
Don’t care bout no list I’m the best
Sometimes life it feel like a test
I want the money nun less
Hop overseas on a jet
Ain’t sleeping can’t give up for rest
These niggas ain’t got no hope
We had to sell a few bows
Just to make sure we had on a coat
Parlay in a yacht on a coast
We fucking on on all of these hoes
Start to the finish can’t choke
I want my bread by the loaf
I had to get out the way
I had to go get me some cake
I want the stars in the wraith
Blow the brains the day
Sell the gas by the case
Mix the supreme with bape
I’m in my lane i don’t race
Ain’t saving hoes got no cape
I’m doing this for my folks
You know it’s murder if i wrote
Book me turning up for shows
They know us everywhere we go
Spending thousands on some clothes
I think you better take some notes
I ain’t stopping I’m on go
Want blue hunnids that can’t fold
Ain’t forgot who left me in the cold
Ain’t forgot who wanted me to go
Now we stepping on some neck
Now we fucking up some checks
Know we worrying lil less
Now we tryna be the best
Been knew that I’ll be the man
Been knew that i had a plan
Cause I...
I had to go step on some necks
I had to get me a check
This is checkers not chess
Don’t care bout no list I’m the best
Sometimes life it feel like a test
I want the money nun less
Hop overseas on a jet
Ain’t sleeping can’t give up for rest
Run it up wit my bro’s
These niggas ain’t got no hope
We had to sell a few bows
Just to make sure we had on a coat
Parlay in a yacht on a coast
We fucking on on all of these hoes
Start to the finish can’t choke
I want my bread by the loaf
In the song Desires by Ajay Luciano, the singer expresses his desire for wealth and success, and outlines the sacrifices he's made to achieve them. He speaks of "stepping on some necks" and "fucking up some checks", reminiscent of a ruthless, dog-eat-dog mentality, and reflects on the fact that life can sometimes feel like a test, which he is determined to pass. He also mentions his loyalty to his friends, and how they have overcome adversity together, selling bows just to make sure they had coats to wear.
The song taps into the idea of the American Dream, and the notion that through hard work, determination, and a little (or a lot) of luck, anybody can achieve success. It's also a commentary on the darker side of ambition, and how the pursuit of wealth and status can lead people to act in ways that are morally questionable. Overall, Desires is a song that captures the tension between aspiration and morality, and explores the complex relationship between money, power, and human motivation.
